Now we are moving along, the first floor frame is mostly complete.The trickyest part of the whole frame stage, cutting into the old roof (over two existing rooms) and running LVL`s from front to back has been done sub-floor inspection passed and flooring down with some walls going up. Should be ready for a roof by the end of this week!
latest update is the roof is on and most of the flashings so we can start to clad the walls- Hebel panels are going on the walls, not the lightest things to lift

Good bit of work! Reckon I would have been using more insulation eg: Insulboard styrofoam and some internal ply bracing rather than the ply, but less a problem in a terrace, but gunna be a nice place though!
